This is a yummy recipe I’ve adopted from Mark Sisson’s Quick and Easy Meals. I’ve played around with portions and added butter to make this a bit more fudge like in texture. The great thing about this recipe is its flexibility and forgiveness. Feel free to play around with proportions, etc. Maybe even throw in some dehydrated fruit. I think strawberries or blue berries would be awesome!

Directions: Using a double boiler is the best way to melt the chocolate, butter and coconut oil, but since I don’t have one, I make due with a small sauce pan on medium to medium-low heat. The trick is to start with the coconut oil, as it melts, add the chocolate. Make sure you stir constantly so the chocolate doesn’t burn. When the chocolate is almost completely melted, add the butter. Again, keep string. Once everything is melted, take the pan off the heat. Stir in the almonds and coconut flakes.

I'm not a health expert but a sociology grad student with a deep interest in health, food, and how we organize our lives around the deceivingly simple question, "what should we eat?"

My goal here is to use this blog to record what I'm learning as I "dig to the root" of conventional "wisdom" about food, diet, and fitness. This blog is motivated by my own struggles with health and my journey to find solutions. My opinions and ideas will definitely change over the lifetime of this blog, this is a journey in the true sense of the word, but I hope some of my post will get people thinking and questioning their choices and decisions regarding health and food.
